Skinny Dipping
1.7KM swim before work this morning, pool busy including a couple learning to snorkel... Difficult start and was sore on the arms for a while but after first 40 lengths(700m) it got easier and I got into my rhythm. Ticked off 100 laps in 41minutes 56 seconds. Including quite some time pissing about with cap and goggles.

Wow I am impressed about the time !! 2K in 41 minutes. That's darn fast. I went to the pool for a 2K swim today and could only manage 53 minutes. I was swimming with the guys from the BTC (Belgian triathlon club) who easily caught up with me every 4 lengths. So that's one third faster. all I can say is its very different to swim in a 50 meter pool. Feels like forever until you can get a proper breath. The only thing that pleased me - small consolation - is that I managed to beat every single one of them on the 1k breast stroke.
ReplyDeleteI'm swimming in a 17m pool, I'm sure it slows you down and kills you momentum
ReplyDeleteit was 1.7km in 41 minutes not 2K, stretched to 2K its about 48:15 so not exactly The Man from Atlantis.
